Matthew Smith became enraged after the driver of a Peugeot blocked the front of his Eurotaxis coach in an attempt to get his wife on board.

CCTV footage showed the 32-year-old climb out of the coach, release the handbrake of the obstructing car and push it down the street.

The enraged driver then got back behind the wheel of the coach and drove towards a passer-by, clipping his backpack.

Smith, of Bristol, was driving the rail replacement coach service from Bathâs Dorchester Street Station, when the incident occurred in February.

He admitted dangerous driving and using threatening language when the footage was played at Bath magistratesâ court.

But Smith could still get his job back as his employer had been impressed by his conduct before the road rage, his solicitor Philip Hatvani told the court. Magistrate Amanda Chapman said: âThis was a nasty little incident really.

âI have never seen something quite like it on the television before.â

Smith was given a 15-month driving ban, ordered to pay £50 compensation to the pedestrian, a 12-month community order with 160 hours unpaid work and an eight-week curfew.
